Rhian Mannings, founder of 2 Wish Upon a Star charity, has recieved a Special Recognition award at this year’s Pride of Britain Awards. After losing both her baby son and her husband within five days, she launched the charity to provide “immediate and ongoing bereavement support for families, individuals and professionals affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under.”
Rhian and her family were invited for a brunch when she was surprised by Michael Sheen, who appeared masked to hand her the award. Fighting back tears, he told her it was “an honor” to do it.
